In Louisiana, when a person dies owning property, their estate must go through succession—the legal process that transfers ownership to heirs. If your loved one lived in Hammond, or owned property in Tangipahoa Parish, the succession case will typically be filed in the 21st Judicial District Court.
At Scott | Vicknair Law, Estate & Probate Division, we’ve helped thousands of Louisiana families through probate and succession. Our goal is to remove the confusion, avoid family conflict, and ensure everything is handled legally, efficiently, and with dignity.

Don’t Wait—Succession Only Gets More Complicated Over Time
If probate isn’t started, real estate and bank accounts can remain frozen. Heirs can’t sell property, transfer titles, or settle the estate. Delaying the process only leads to frustration—and sometimes, legal risk.
